    Compusa's Zalmans, Anyone buy one of these??

    Yea - I saw their line - didja also check out the prices? Holy Cow! Rounded cables for $20 - $30?!? For what they charge - I will gladly wait the two days for mail order. Best Buy is a bit better, still overpriced unless the item is on-sale. I also hate the rebate frenzy the CrapUSA and...

    Compusa's Zalmans, Anyone buy one of these??

    No, no - I wasn't calling you desparate. The fact that you are on this forum indicates that you're seeking solid knowledge. I just dislike CrapUSA's biz practices and ethics. No insult meant at all.

    fan speed control

    Compusa's Zalmans, Anyone buy one of these??

    I have been running Zalman's in silent mode for some time and really like them. But never, never, never, never buy anything from CrapUSA. Only the desparate shop at CrapUSA. They have got to be the worst company out there.

    Hyper Threading Unlock question

    To follow up a bit - I am under the impression that it's not a matter of unlocking the CPU - but unlocking the BIOS in your HT compatible motherboard.

    Hyper Threading Unlock question

    Been trying to unlock the Hyper Threading options on my Asus P4PE - the only discussion I have found on this is BIOS Patcher v4.00.rc.7.1 Has anyone had any success unlocking HT? I was under the impression that my P4 2.53Ghz supports HT, but it's just locked out by Asus and Award to force you...
